When you enable in-app online giving via Stripe Connect, two fees apply per donation — our platform fee and Stripe's processing fee. Here's the full breakdown:
Credit / Debit Card
ACH Bank Transfer
Church Compass's 0.25% fee is deducted from each gift before it reaches your Stripe account. Stripe's processing fees are standard rates charged directly by Stripe. Donation amounts flow directly to your connected bank account.
How to set up Church Compass in 8 steps
You can have your church fully set up and ready for members in under an hour. Here's everything you need to do, in order.
Church registration happens exclusively on this website. Click "Register Your Church" above, then create your account with an email and password. The person who registers becomes the Lead Admin — the sole individual responsible for billing and subscription management. You can transfer lead admin membership to another person at any time, but only one lead admin is allowed per church. Once registered, you can manage your church from the ChurchCompass Admin mobile app (iOS & Android) or this web admin portal. All payment-related actions — including giving setup, billing, and subscription changes — must be completed through the website.
church-compass.com/registerAfter registering on the website, sign in to the web admin portal to complete your church profile. Add your church name, address, description, service times, and logo. This is what members see when they find your church in the app. You can also manage your profile from the ChurchCompass Admin mobile app.
Web Admin Portal → Church ProfileTo accept online donations, go to the Stripe Connect page in the web admin portal and link your church's Stripe account. Stripe is a secure, PCI-compliant payment processor used by millions of businesses worldwide. When a member gives through the Church Compass app, their payment is processed by Stripe and deposited directly into your church's bank account. Church Compass charges a .25% platform fee on each donation — Stripe's standard processing fees apply separately. Once connected, members can give one-time gifts, set up recurring weekly/monthly/yearly donations, and view their full giving history and year-end tax statements. Payouts typically arrive in your bank account within 2–7 business days. You can monitor donation activity, manage payout schedules, and download tax receipts from your Stripe Dashboard.
